Devices

Note: ATI has used the word "Wonder", and often "TV Wonder", in the branding of a wide variety tuner devices over the years. Unfortunately, this seems to be causing some confusion with those who may be unaware. Please be sure to make further distinction between these highly varying models, else you run the risk of obtaining an unsupported device.

ATI Graphic cards with TV Tuners and/or Capture facilities

The Gatos development effort is in the process of moving to X.org. Patches are available for tv-out; see the development forum.

If you want to be able to receive television with your ATI card, you may be able to do that simply by installing X.org 7.0. What follows are some details of an unusually poorly documented project; further clarifications are appreciated.
